LTC2870/LTC2871
RS232/RS485 Multiprotocol
Transceivers with
Integrated Termination
DESCRIPTION
The LTC^®2870/LTC2871 are robust pin-configurable mul-
tiprotocol transceivers, supporting RS232, RS485, and
RS422 protocols, operating on a single 3V to 5.5V supply.
The LTC2870 can be configured as two RS232 single-ended
transceivers or one RS485 differential transceiver on shared
I/O lines. The LTC2871 offers independent control of two
RS232 transceivers and one RS485 transceiver, each on
dedicated I/O lines.
Pin-controlled integrated termination resistors allow
for easy interface reconfiguration, eliminating external
resistors and control relays. Half-duplex switches allow
four-wire and two-wire RS485 configurations. Loopback
mode steers the driver inputs to the receiver outputs for
diagnostic self-test.The RS485 receivers support up to
256 nodes per bus, and feature full failsafe operation for
floating, shorted or terminated inputs.
An integrated DC/DC boost converter uses a small induc-
tor and one capacitor, eliminating the need for multiple
supplies for driving RS232 levels.
